a goal from Ferran Torres<\/a>, the team’s top scorer in the tournament with 5 goals (Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez still leads the scoring chart with 6), was enough for Bar\u00e7a to overcome a very tough tie, which became more complicated than expected after the first leg draw in Montju\u00efc (4-4). Now, the Catalans will seek their eighth title this century, where the Catalan dominance in the Cup has intensified. <\/p> Bar\u00e7a has won 7 of the last 16 editions of the Cup<\/h2> Since 2009, Barcelona has won 7 titles in the Cup<\/strong>. Before the final of the 2008-09 season in Mestalla, Bar\u00e7a (24) and Athletic (23) were neck and neck in the tournament’s history. The team led by Pep Guardiola decisively defeated the Basques (4-1), taking the first step towards the treble that year. The Catalans would lift the title again in 2012 in the farewell of the Santpedor coach from the azulgrana bench, again against the ‘lions’, but at the Vicente Calder\u00f3n (3-0).<\/p> Both teams faced each other again in 2015, with a azulgrana victory of 3-1 at Camp Nou, heading towards another treble under Luis Enrique. With the Asturian, the team won three consecutive Cups<\/strong> (2016 against Sevilla and 2017 against Alav\u00e9s), while Ernesto Valverde also managed to lift His Majesty’s trophy in his first season (2017-18, thrashing Sevilla).<\/p> After that, Bar\u00e7a had to wait until 2021 to lift their 31st King’s Cup<\/strong>, again against Athletic (4-0) in the venue that, since that year, hosts the decisive stage of the tournament (La Cartuja). Ronald Koeman was the azulgrana coach at that time. In total, there are 11 finals in 17 seasons, with a record of 7 victories and 3 defeats (two against Madrid, one against Valencia), awaiting what will happen on April 26.<\/p> The last 10 finals of Bar\u00e7a in the King’s Cup<\/h2> FC Barcelona 4-1 Athletic Club<\/strong>. 2008-09 season (in Mestalla).<\/li> \t Real Madrid 1-0 FC Barcelona<\/strong>. 2010-11 season (in Mestalla).<\/li> \t FC Barcelona 3-0 Athletic Club<\/strong>. 2011-12 season (at Vicente Calder\u00f3n).<\/li> \t FC Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid<\/strong>. 2013-14 season (in Mestalla).<\/li> \t FC Barcelona 3-1 Athletic Club<\/strong>. 2014-15 season (in Camp Nou).<\/li> \t FC Barcelona 2-0 Sevilla<\/strong>. 2015-16 season (at Vicente Calder\u00f3n).<\/li> \t FC Barcelona 3-1 Alav\u00e9s<\/strong>. 2016-17 (at Vicente Calder\u00f3n).<\/li> \t FC Barcelona 5-0 Sevilla<\/strong>. 2017-18 season (at Metropolitano de Madrid).<\/li> \t Valencia 2-1 FC Barcelona<\/strong>. 2018-19 season (at Benito Villamar\u00edn).<\/li> \t FC Barcelona 4-0 Athletic Club<\/strong>. 2020-21 season (at La Cartuja).<\/li> <\/ol> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona will play its 43rd Cup final on April 26, seeking its 32nd title and the eighth in the last 17 editions FC Barcelona’s victory against Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid (0-1) allowed the team led by Hansi Flick to advance to a new Cup final, the first since 2021 and the eleventh in the last […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":347,"featured_media":8369,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_nextfly_llmd_date_locked":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[446,118],"tags":[53,157],"class_list":["post-8368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-copa-del-rey-2","category-copa-del-rey","tag-el-clasico","tag-statistics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
